THE SnASH-UP At HARVRE De 6RACE.
baltimore Sun, 22nd. I

Havre de Grace, Nd, was the
scene of "A serious railroad disaster
about six o'clock yesterday after
noon. and the Philadelphia, Will
,oinpton and Baltimore Railroad
depot and the railroad track for
hundreds of yards near it present
ed a horrible picture. The south
bound train, No. II, due at Havre
de Grace at j:5S, left the station
and ran but few yards when 1T
was met by the nOrth-bound con-
gressional fast express, No. 66,
running at a high rate of speed.
A frighttul wreck ensused. The
fast express struck the baggage
car Of the sOuth.bound train just
as il crossed the switch below the
depot, and crashing into the parlor
cars behind it. turred two Of them
over and completely demolished
them, causing total wreck. The
engine continuing on, telescoped a
coach before it could be stopped
The people on the northbound train
were not hurt other than to receive
some slight shocks. The south
bound train of SIX cars was full OF
passengers, and nearly all OF them
were either dangerously or slightly
hurt. but those in the overturned
cars were the worst hurt. There
was but one person killed IN the
accident, however. THIS was Mr..
Alexander Gartrom, of Washing
ton. d. c., about 80 years old, who
was in TIE rear car where the en-
gine stopped, and was struck by
the engine and crushed between
the seats. Before he could be re-
leased he was scalded 20 death by
the escaping steam. The passen-
gers in the two parlOr cars that
we're turned oyer included men,
women and children, and all Of
them. with one or two exceptions,
we're hurt. Among the ones more
seriously hurt were T. A. Bland,
Of Washington, head scalded; a.
Price, of New York, arm and head
cut; b. y. Baker, Of Baltimore,
left leg fractured; Rev. }. Z. Pink
ham, of Minneapolis, shoulder
blade broken and arm fractured (;
J. VI. Wharton, Of Baltimore, skull
fractured and face badly bruised ;
A. L. Wood, of Camden, n. J.,
seriously hurt about head ; Rev.
Robert Smith, Of Baltimore, leg
and hand cut.
The cause of the accident was
that the congressional express was
behind time, and, running at a
high rate, passed the signal tower
The signal was on, but the engln'
eer, w. VI. Sargent, who is one OF
the oldest engineers on the road,
saws the air.brakes refused to work.
The engine was reversed, bnt too
late for any use.

Where the pride of his home, unconscously
lay
In the Stiffness of deaths cold embrace.
Let me see him once more, !" that fond faith
er sighed,
When the cOftiu was ready to close
Der the brow of the boy, who oft by his

Had in frolic much lightened life's woes.
None denied the request, but, ah ! that last
On the features Of his cherub-chiid,
Jould not restore the warmth to the cold,
pallid face
Which SO lately with beauty had smiled
His sleep was 10 deep for a grieved fathers
moan
To eer rouse him to consciousness here
His person remained, but his spirit had
flown
Where no mortal sound could reach his
ear
Though the coffin and grave now hide the
fair form,
OF that loved boy from his fathers sight,
He forever is safe from sorrow or harm,
In the world of endless j,y and light.
With angels and saints he in Paradise
stands,
Gods presence through ages adore;
Aud beckous his kindred to that happy
land,
Where the father may see him once more.

Shall no longer the spirit anoy

And be parted no more from his boy.
